Rider list updated.

@Gyrocket can you and your mate(s) do an entry form please so we know who to email with start details etc? Cheers!

[anglia4]

Oi @Beaver 🤷‍♂️

[Beaver]

Yeh soz mateys, calender didn't work out this year. Enjoy!

[Vintage Grumble]

Good day gents, are any of you fine chaps attending this prestigious event from Wellington? I'm bringing a motorbike motor down for @Goat and was wondering if someone might be able to take it closer to him? He may want to actually confirm where hes at, but I think its welly?

 

[anglia4]

If its not too huge of a bike we can probably stash it at dads (where the ride starts/ends) for a wee while until @Goat could collect. Wouldn't want to be too long though as we are pretty jam packed in the bike shed at the moment.

[Goat]

@Vintage Grumble 
Woops, had forgotten about that.

@anglia4 Its a gs550 engine. That would be awesome if you could hold onto it. I can do a trip up to collect over the chrismas hols if that's not too far away. Otherwise i can figure something out sooner.

[anglia4]

Oh just an engine yeah sweet we will find room for it.

[Goat]

Epic. Thanks dude!

Will plan a mish up to collect in the next month and a half!

[anglia4]

Hey why not next weekend?  Bring a bike 

[Goat]

Only got big bikes that go at the moment. hah.

Need to build my f5/yb100 pest bike up. These multi day missions greatly appeal to me.
Will put my name down for next year. Gives me 50 weeks to do nothing, then 2 weeks to build a bike and commit to a ride with zero testing. perfect.

I'm just booking a bed for the night before (Thursday) in NP, just in case there is no off-street parking or its deep in the ghetto, ok to drop trailer/bikes off the night before?

We have an extra bunk at the top 10 if you wanna bunk in with the flaggotz. May or may not be a charge as we are getting in lateish and pre-booked. You'll need a sleeping bag for that though but cheepish

[johnnyfive]

Me & VG got a cabin also.

Thank you for reminding me that I need to check on the linen situation, I don't get out often.

No problem at all.

Are you guys at the Top 10 on Princes St in Fitzroy?

[johnnyfive]

Yep thats the one

[alfalfa]

How's that crm80 transplant going? Bring it with you and we'll finish it off thursday night

[johnnyfive]

Hopefully have a look tomorrow or the day after... 

[Vintage Grumble]

Rode my farm bike to work (~35km) if it makes it home again, ima call that good to go for the ride.

[alfalfa]

How's the fuel consumption going?

It will still be terrible, as the needle was already all the way down, so must need a smaller jet. I have around 6L extra gas onboard though, so hoping if I don't go over 80/90khm I can get 200km out of it.
